deploy at scale

Think as bigas you want to

Scale your TV delivery to millions of simultaneous viewers, devices, and any mix of services – even for those ‘big live’ events. That’s because our TV delivery systems use a unique architecture that scales different functions in different ways – so now you don’t have to be the ‘Gorilla in your market’ to have the biggest and best TV delivery systems.

A modular origin

Our modular origin architecture allows almost unlimited flexibility when it comes to scalability. You can grow in the dimension most relevant for your business, ingest or egress, independently of each other.

Scale ingest independently – perhaps you have several live channels and need to grow your ingest capacity, but you don’t necessarily need to grow the egress capacity at the same pace. You can even grow the ingest capacity temporarily, for large live events for example, and keep the egress unchanged

Scale egress independently – or you could just grow your egress capabilities to add more client device types and formats, such as 4k, UHD and VR or add subtitling & audio options

Move repackaging to the TV CDN – you can repackage into a single common file format, then repackage on-the-fly, on the edge of the TV CDN, saving you 2-3 times the bandwidth out of the origin and 2-3 times cache storage

An architecture

for TV

By selecting the best platform for each job to build our Content Delivery Networks, from ingest, repackaging, caching and streaming to managing these services, you can scale and optimize each TV delivery function – even for 4K TV.

Scale to many assets – you can run content-related functions such as ingest, cloud DVR and content management, as containerized software deployed in the cloud, to manage the large volumes of assets used to create the final personalized stream

Scale to many transactions – a software-based request routing system connects large volumes of small transactions or new viewing requests on your content, to your distributed edge

Scale to many personalized streams – the option of a hardware-accelerated delivery layer allows you to deliver guaranteed performance of each personalized stream to your viewers and enable a variety of TV services on a single platform

Deployment options

mix and match for scalability

Mix and match deployment options to bring you the best possible scalability.

By combining cloud deployments for Edgeware’s software products with the purpose-built TV servers for distributed edge functionality you get the best of two worlds. This unique scalability comes with a cloud-native deployment and, just as important, is the best way to guarantee an amazing viewing experience to each individual viewer.

Cloud deployments – with Edgeware’s containerized software products you have a wide range of deployment options, so you can select the one that best matches your business model and architecture. Choose the deployment option that suits you best – public or private cloud, or bare metal (COTS)

Deploy

DEPLOY

Anywhere

Edgeware products offer different deployment options. Deploy our software products in the cloud, in datacenters or on bare metal. Combine this with Edgeware’s own purpose-built TV servers to build a TV CDN with guaranteed performance right out-of-the-box.

This unique mix and match combination gives you the best of two worlds; agile software deployment and deterministic hardware performance.
